Anyone watching Obama's speech tonight?
« on: September 08, 2011, 06:48:07 PM »
I cannot bring myself to watch. Obama called both houses together to give the nation a "Re-elect Obama Speech." I feel its not right to reward such deceptive behavior with viewership. Further after three years the fool is STILL tied to a teleprompter. Not a single other politician has to use a TP at every D*** event. Lord O used a TP for a 3 minute speech at a grade school.

Everything about this phony grates against me. I have a killer cold, a headache and am not going to sit through another pointless speech. Nor am I going to watch the commentators marvel at how this was the most wonderful speech ever made in the history of the earth. I hate those slime-sucking propaganda pundits.

Hmmm. Whats really revealed here is I'm in a bad mood.
Fine. I have no patience for fools. Guess that leaves out the Pres, don't it.

Actually, sir, since I don't do television, I thought it would be a good evening to change the air in the tires of the automobile.

I listened to a little of it on the Mark Levin show. SSDD.  And it just went on and on and on. Mark broke for commercials and even that didn't relieve the tedium.

I can't reach my toenails.  I guess I'll have to make other plans. :(

Apparently, it started 7pm EST.  I was barely finished with my first beer before he started.  How am I supposed to parse Pres0dential speechifying while sober?

I did some YouTube digging and found a copy of the 1964 'Dalek Invasion of Earth' with the original Doctor, but it cuts out halfway through. :(

The Doctor was always Tom Baker to me.  I have a feeling J.K. Rowling ripped off the Harry Potter scarf thing from the BBC, but the original Doctor is too cool.  The old British class is nice to hear.

There are.  Some of the Tom Baker episodes (Leisure Hive) are available as well as 'Dalek Invasion of Earth' with the original Doctor.

bad enough to shell out a five pound note?   :popcorn:
The exchange rate is pretty rough.  Maybe I can get a relative to pick up a Region 1 copy and ship it to me.

A discussion on Barry's super-important I'm-gonna-make-me-some-jobs speech disintegrates into a Dr. Who discussion. Awesome. :rofl:
